  • Quiet site on a Leicestershire field 10 minutes’ drive from Hinckley
  • Mallory Park or Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre 10 minutes’ drive
  • Seasonal produce in the farm shop; breakfast and lunch available
Leicestershire bound? Perhaps you’ll end up at Bradshaw Farm, a site on a working farm situated between the two rural villages of Stapleton and Dadlington, with Hinckley 10 minutes’ drive away. Pitches are on a nicely level field, and there are simple shared shower facilities. Every last weekend of the month (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and on bank holidays, the site has a range of wine, beer and spirits for guests to buy. There’s also a well-stocked farm shop across the road, where you can pick up seasonal fruit, veg, fresher-than-fresh organic produce and home-grown plants; you can order a hearty cooked breakfast and tasty lunch there too. If you’re looking for a decent selection of pubs and restaurants to try, Hinckley (10 minutes’ drive) is the place to head for; you can top up on any other supplies from the supermarkets while you’re there. In general, this place is a fine choice if you want to get away for some R&R in the countryside.

What customers say

Budget-friendly, back-to-basics site for a chill country escape. Owners are legends, farm shop's handy. Facilities are basic but do the job for the price. Some reckon they could be cleaner/more plentiful when it's busy. Great for a no-frills, value rural break.

Liked Nothing

Disliked Toilets and showers are not the cleanest very basic site but you expect that for the price and grass was very overgrown

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Well obviously lots of people do like the site - the grass round the bell tents is there to attract butterflies and small insects which is encouraged by the government just so you know!!! We don’t purport to be the Ritz of the campsites just a budget site. I object to your comments about toilets and shower, they are cleaned daily and if everyone did their bit after using them then that would make things nicer for everyone, unfortunately most of the people who use them don’t share my view. So sorry it’s not to your taste so we wont be seeing you again? Bye-bye

Did not stay. Definitely not as advertised.

Unpowered grass site (pet friendly)

Liked The signs telling people to pick up their dog poo and put it in the bin.... followed by big signs telling campers there are no bins on site and to take rubbish away with you. They gave us a laugh. So do people take their dog poo home with them too???

Disliked Disguarded caravans burried in overgrown surroundings. No toilets or shower as advertised.
Couldn't even find the farm shop to check in..
We didn't stay. Looked around and then left.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So anonymous- yes dog poo should be taken away! As should rubbish! Look at Pitchups terms. Disguarded caravans? Do you mean discarded? You are completely wrong - there is one van which has been standing for a while because the owner has moved certainly not ‘discarded’ and we choose not to mow around it until he comes to pick up. Send me your name and address and I will gladly refund. Why put such a ghastly review when you didn’t even come to talk to us. Toilets are portaloos as advertised and there is a small shower shed. Shop is over the road. Such negativity and fierce impulse to spout nastiness !!! Please look before you leap as they say, zip lips before you know things

Liked Close to wild camping really! Choose your own pitch and enjoy. I liked the relaxed pace, the walks in quiet farming area and the quirkiness of the site. Was met at check in with friendly greeting and would come again.

Bell tent (six person, basic)

Liked Spent the weekend with the kids and some friends. I had a fabulous time. The host was very helpful. Traditional Camping at its best. The Tents were massive, Toilets...not the cleanest, but we were camping after all, and a wonderful shower -which exceeded my expectations. We had a BBQ and opportunity to roast marshmallows for the kids. I will definitely go back again before the school holidays end. Loved it.

Unpowered grass site (pet friendly)

Liked Very quiet. Easy check in and friendly staff in the farm shop. Plenty of room for the children to run around and play ball games.

Disliked Very very basic facilities. Portaloos had no running water. There was a shower on site but it appeared to be the warden's personal shower with soap and razor left behind which was off putting. No rubbish bins. Only one water point which at times was redirected to the warden's caravan so we couldn't use.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We don’t purport to be the ritz of campsites, we are a budget site as your payment reflects - £22 for basic bell tents, £12 non electric. One water point is all that is needed. Apologies that one guest left razors and soap which has been removed. We do not have to provide rubbish bins. Sorry you didn’t have a nice time many more do!!!!!

cheap and cheerful

Liked very quiet and peaceful, plenty of space, basic site, budget-friendly

Disliked No place to wash pots and pans

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The last comment is wrong, there is now a washstand with 2 bowls. Not recommending or coming back? Why bother to put a review? You know what my mother always said? - if you can’t say something positive don’t say anything at all. We are relatively new and still learning we need positive criticism not not negativity

With great views, a peaceful location,…

Local attractions

When golf is your game, you’ll be pleased to know there are several courses within about 20 minutes’ drive of the site. For watching high-octane pursuits like motor-bike racing, you’ll have to catch the right day at Mallory Park Racing Circuit (10 minutes’ drive). Take a waterside stroll in Market Bosworth Country Park (10 minutes), or learn more about the notorious battle of 1485 on guided walking tours at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (also 10 minutes), where the kids can dress up as knights for the day and there are occasional weekend enactments of fiercely fought medieval battles. If you’d like to know more about the infamous King Richard III, whose remains were found in a Leicester car park, visit his royal tomb at the King Richard III Visitor Centre (40 minutes). Still in the city, you can clamber aboard rockets at the National Space Centre, and let off steam in East Street Lanes bowling alley (both make great choices for any rainy days with the offspring).
